Leeanne shot a glare at the kitten, then turned back to Little Seal. “So, what do
Little Seal shook its head. “No way. That’s not enough.”

Leeanne sighed. “I don’t have much left either. How about this? Two Blue Phosphorus Shrimps for your four fruits. Deal?”
Little Seal hesitated.
Leeanne pulled out a Blue Phosphorus Shrimp and dangled it in front of Little Seal, saying, “Look, this shrimp is huge, and your fruit is so tiny. One shrimp is worth four of your fruits. I’m giving you two. Aren’t you making a killing here?
“Shrimp is way tastier than fruit, aren’t they?”
Little Seal started drooling as soon as it laid eyes on the Blue Phosphorus Shrimp.
Suddenly, in a blink, the Blue Phosphorus Shrimp was snatched right out of Leeanne’s hand.
She spun around, only to catch the kitten finishing off the Blue Phosphorus Shrimp’s tail. The kitten licked its paw with a smug flourish, as if nothing had happened.
Little Seal bawled, “Waaah, shrimp, shrimp.”
Leeanne snapped, “Kitten, you snatched my stuff.”
The kitten rolled its eyes. “It’s just a Blue Phosphorus Shrimp. What’s so special about it?”
Leeanne insisted, “Give it back, now!”
The kitten smirked, “Already ate it. Too late.”
Leeanne pulled out her Spirit Serpent Whip, and the kitten’s eyes went wide as saucers. “Hey, I ate your shrimp. To make it up to you, I’ll take you to find some real treasure.”
Leeanne asked, “What treasure?”
The kitten raised its head with a smug air. “The recipe for the Clarity Elixir.”
The recipe for the Clarity Elixir? I already know where it is. Do I need this cat’s help?‘ Leeanne mused.
Usually, recipes like that meant she had to hunt down some mutant beasts. As long as she found the right spot, she could handle it herself.
She didn’t need the kitten acting as her guide.
Leeanne shook her head. “No way.”
She gave the kitten a long, hard look. “Unless you can offer something valuable, or else…”
The kitten froze for a second. “Let me think.”
Leeanne scooped up Little Seal and headed to a secluded spot. She told Little Blue to keep watch, then handed over two Blue Phosphorus Shrimp to Little Seal.

In exchange, she got four Swiftwing Fruits.
She popped one Swiftwing Fruit into her mouth right away, then picked up one Blackstone Date and ate it, too.
She checked her stats:

Age: 24

Agility: 19+ 5
Constitution: 15+ 5 + 3

‘Not bad, my stats went up a lot,‘ Leeanne thought to herself.

Leeanne quickly grabbed one Swiftwing Fruit, one Blackstone Date, and one Sunheart Melon, then sent them over to Maeve through the system, telling her to chow down on them right away.
Then, Leeanne let Little Seal take the lead, and together they plunged underwater, heading right to where the Swiftwing Fruits were found.
The Swiftwing Fruits looked like a tangled bunch of seaweed. Most of the fruit had been snatched up. Only a few were left, scattered here and there.
Leeanne wasn’t ready to give up. She pulled out her iron shovel, planning to dig a bit.
But just as she started, an icy system voice echoed in her ears:
[Ding! The magical fruits on Coral Island are for picking, not digging!]
‘Oh?‘ Leeanne raised an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
She flashed a sly grin and dug several times with her iron shovel, not holding back at all.
[Ding! The magical fruits on Coral Island are for picking, not digging!]
[Seriously, you can’t dig them up!]
[No digging!]
[Alright, just this once. But don’t make a habit of it!]
‘Oh?‘ Leeanne snickered to herself, feeling pretty pleased.
Without a second thought, she dug up a Swiftwing Fruit and stashed it in her backpack.
Then she put away her iron shovel, scooped up Little Seal, and headed back to shore.

As soon as she stepped onto the shore, she saw a few dolphins jumping out of the water nearby, calling out with cheerful chirps.
Little Seal perked up, grinning. “Hey, friends. Wait for me.”
It dove right into the sea and quickly swam over to the dolphins, joining them as they played and splashed around together.
Lecanne was silent.
‘Wow, who knew Little Seal had friends all over the place? It’s got a knack for making buddies,‘ she thought.
She opened up the Coral Island Treasure Map, checking it out and thinking hard about which treasure to hunt down next.
Still left on her list were the Water Treading Boots, Antidote Pill, Clarity Elixir recipe, Advanced Fins, and Advanced Diving Suit.
No need to bother with the White Marble Everleaf yet. It was not even ripe.
Leeanne thought, ‘Whatever, I’ll go and take a look. Gotta take advantage while Little Blue can still fly.
Leeanne called Little Blue back and had it check out a few treasure spots.
Once she got a general sense of things, she told Little Blue to remember those spots.
All these treasures meant she’d have to slay some monsters to get them.
Out of all of them, the Water Treading Boots were what she wanted most.
As the name suggests, Water Treading Boots let her walk right on water, making it way easier to take down sea monsters than riding on Snowy’s back.
And on top of that, Water Treading Boots would make her even faster.
She had to step up her treasure hunting. There was no way the game would let her hog the island all to herself. Sooner or later, people would start pouring in through the other two entrances.
Leeanne checked the time. She was almost at the three–hour mark. Once that time hit, she could finally summon her friends.
She planned to summon Gideon and Emmett. Gideon had crazy combat power, so with him around, they could slay those tier–five beasts together.
Emmett was essential for the headcount. No way she could do without him.
Leeanne sent a private message to both of them: [Coral Island. You guys in?]
Emmett’s booming voice came through, full of excitement: [You’re on Coral Island?]
Leeanne replied: [Yeah.]
Emmett: [You’re insane! Count me in. No way I’m missing this. Leeanne, I’ll be your helper and don’t need any loot. Just let me set foot on the island and see it for myself.]
Gideon, ever the straight shooter: [I’m in. All the loot’s yours.]
Emmett and Gideon sent over their Summon Cards. Leeanne hopped on Little Blue and flew straight to the spot where the

Water Treading Boots were hidden, right in the territory of a bunch of tier–five golden monkeys. She checked the time.
Only a few minutes left until the three hours were up.
Just a few more minutes, and I can summon them, Leeanne thought, excitement bubbling up inside her.
Suddenly, a thought popped into Leeanne’s head. She messaged both of them: [Get ten pieces each of third–tier pork, beef, lamb, and chicken ready. Ping me when you’ve got it all set.]
